The DNZ Game Reaper–Tikka Scope Mount/Ring Combo Silver 30mm (model 30550S, UPC 879956001870) is a one-piece scope mounting system engineered specifically for Tikka T3 and T3x rifles. It combines a receiver-mounted base and integrated 30 mm rings in a single billet-aluminum component, providing a rigid interface between rifle and optic with medium ring height and a silver anodized finish.

Model Identification and Platform Compatibility
This scope mount/ring combo is cataloged under the following identifiers:
It is custom machined to fit:
Firearm type: Bolt-action rifle
Firearm fit: Tikka T3 and T3x rifles, left- or right-hand configurations
Action type: Short action (all T3 actions share the same receiver length) dnzproducts.com+2Hinterland Outfitters+2
Because the mount is profile-matched to the T3/T3x receiver footprint, it is not intended as a universal 30 mm mount and should only be used on compatible Tikka actions.
One-Piece Billet Aluminum Construction
The Game Reaper 30550S is precision machined from a solid block of 6061-T6 billet aluminum, creating a single-piece base and ring assembly with no separate ring-to-base joints. eBay+3Palmetto State Armory+3Primary Arms+3
Key construction attributes:
Material: Tempered 6061-T6 aluminum
Manufacturing process: CNC-machined one-piece design
Weight: Approximately 3 oz (mount only, without optic) Hinterland Outfitters+1
Finish: Silver anodized/aluminum finish for a matte metallic appearance
According to DNZ and reseller specifications, this design is:
Up to 67 % lighter than comparable one-piece steel-based mounts
Built with four times the threads and precision socket-head cap screws for increased thread engagement and clamping security
Designed to absorb recoil shock and withstand temperature extremes while maintaining alignment between scope and bore Ammunition Depot+3Palmetto State Armory+3Hinterland Outfitters+3
Mounting Height and Dimensional Data
The 30550S is the medium-height, 30 mm Game Reaper mount for Tikka T3/T3x. DNZ publishes several dimensional values useful for scope and clearance planning:
Hole spacing relative to the receiver screw pattern is specified as:
These dimensions are intended to help users verify eye relief, objective bell clearance over the barrel, and compatibility with specific optics and accessories.
Hardware Specifications and Fasteners
The DNZ Game Reaper 30550S includes mounting hardware sized for Tikka T3/T3x receivers:
DNZ highlights extended thread engagement in the rings (approx. 1/2" thread length), which contributes to secure clamping of the scope tube while minimizing the need for additional ring modification. Buds Gun Shop+1
Alignment, Rigidity, and Zero Retention
Because the Game Reaper is a single-piece base-and-ring system, the traditional joint between separate rings and a rail or base is eliminated. This yields several functional characteristics: blackmarketarms.com+3Primary Arms+3MidwayUSA+3
Integral alignment: Rings are machined in place to the same datum as the base, so no lapping is generally required under normal installation conditions.
Reduced shift potential: With no ring-to-base interface, there are fewer components that can loosen or shift under recoil.
Rigid structure: The mount is designed to maintain consistent scope position relative to the bore, supporting repeatable zero over time.
These factors are particularly relevant when mounting optics on rifles used for hunting, target shooting, or precision applications where point-of-impact consistency is important.
Installation and Use Considerations
Product descriptions stress that installation of the DNZ Game Reaper–Tikka mount does not require special tools beyond standard gunsmithing practices and the supplied hex keys. Buds Gun Shop+1
Typical installation steps on a Tikka T3/T3x receiver include:
Mounting the base:
Clean and, if desired, lightly degrease receiver screw holes and mount contact surfaces.
Align the 30550S base with the factory screw pattern and secure it with the supplied #6-48 base screws to torque values recommended by DNZ or the rifle manufacturer.
Setting the scope:
Final torqueing:
Users should always verify that the scope has adequate clearance from the barrel and that bolt handle operation is unobstructed through the full range of motion once installation is complete.
